  FedUpJW - “…it will make it more difficult for any males in congregations to use either one as a tool to fade.”

  Very astute… I hadn’t thought of that.

  And definitely on-brand.

  Ron.W. - “…Why have they done it I wonder?”

  It’s a concession that costs them nothing, widens the pool of “qualified brothers” to keep things running at the grassroots level, and they were able to spin it in a way that reinforced the Org’s authority.

  What If The Tower Fell?

  by Big Dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  what if the truly unthinkable happened and the tower went down?

  perhaps the irs swooped in and claimed fraud and padlocked the headquarters and kingdom hall doors?

  or the gb took the money and ran to a nice non-extradition country to live out their years?

  ThomasMore - “The Argentina facility exists for a reason. I suspect that it will eventually serve its purpose."

  KerryKing - “Please tell me more! I haven't heard of this, very curious!”

  They’ve built a luxury gated compound in Buenos Aires to potentially function as a secondary HQ.

  Some of us think that when the legal problems eventually become too hot, they plan to permanently relocate there.

  Joke’s on them, though…

  …Argentina and the US have a mutual extradition treaty.

  My dad compared the beard prohibition to the requirement for Israelites to have fringes on their robes.

  To identify each other whilst abroad, but more importantly, to stand out.

  Not fitting in was the point.

  Different for the sake of different.

  New Study: Mars Once Was Completely Covered in Oceans

  by Sea Breeze in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  "the new study indicates that the oceans that covered the entire planet in water were at least 300 metres deep.

  they may have been up to one kilometre deep.".

  yet, some secularists say they are sure that the earth was never completely flooded with water above the tops of mountains as described in genesis.

  Sea Breeze - “I wasn't a biblical anything for 8 years after leaving the WT. Started off a pretty solid agnostic.”

  Whoops, sorry man, I had you confused with EasyPrompt.

  I don’t know why. 😵‍💫

  I dunno…

  …the “Plain Truth” guys tried mainstreaming after Herbert Armstrong died, shattered into a million pieces, and hardly anyone even remembers them anymore.

  Either the WT is so anxious about losing members and/or their tax-exemption that they’ll actually risk trying this, or they’ve figured out the alternative is even worse.

  Breaking news doesn’t give you bragging rights.

  It just means you’re a minute or two ahead of the curve.

  It’s Friday, have a drink.
